Get tanned at one of Amsterdam’s City Beaches

This weekend is promising to be a tropic weekend in Amsterdam. To keep it cool it is the perfect time to relax at one of Amsterdam’s City Beaches, and celebrate summer!

Strand Zuid is based on the south side of Amsterdam, next to the RAI conference center and is a perfect place to chill down with a cool drink, while enjoying a view at the waterside of the Beatrixpark.

At the north side of Amsterdam, city beach Blijburg at the IJ-lake is a good place to get sand between your toes and catch a tan.

When that’s not enough, you can always escape to one of the North Sea beaches. Zandvoort beach, one of the most popular North Sea beaches of the Netherlands, is just a 30 min train-trip from Amsterdam. Enjoy the weekend, enjoy the sun!

Opening hours:

• Strand Zuid: during summer season daily 10 – 23 (Saturday’s 10 – 24)
• Blijburg city beach: May 5th – Sept 15, daily 11 - 1 am (Saturday's 2 am)
